Wifi Extender or Repeater
I am trying to add a wifi extender or repeater to a light pole about 125 Ft from my house. This inturn will send a wifi signal to a Ring security camera located another 50-60 ft away down some stai...
125ft is a stretch for distance. Potentially you can get it working but its expensive to buy something that "might" work.
Potentially you could use a powerline device if the pole is on the same power circuit as the home.
You might have to try several things to get it working properly.
Got an old router sitting around? Some have a repeater/extender mode or can have 3rd party firmare installed that could support those modes.
Otherwise, it might be worth buying one from a place with a generous return policy incase it didn't work to your satisfaction.
Or you can bite the bullet and bury an underground rated ethernet cord.
